AMCS, the leading supplier of integrated software and vehicle technology
for the waste, recycling and resource management sector, has acquired
the Dublin, Ireland, based software developer Senddr.

Senddr was founded in 2012 by brothers Morgan and Malcolm Lynch together
with a team of world-class software engineers and technology innovators
with previous experience at Google and Yendo. The company brings a great
depth of technology and skills in process automation to AMCS and has
recently built and successfully deployed a state-of-the-art digital
engagement platform and infrastructure for secure financial transactions.

“The Waste and Recycling industry is facing a major challenge to
digitize their businesses, sell services online and interact with
customers and subcontractors in the digital world.” said Jimmy
Martin, CEO of AMCS. “Senddr’s offering includes an extensible Cloud
Suite that we will incorporate in the AMCS platform. This will enable
waste operators to rapidly deploy online services, offer a secure
automated payment channel and provide a workspace to interact with
subcontractors online. The Senddr acquisition is a strategic and
significant investment for AMCS that will further accelerate innovation
in the Waste and Recycling industry.”

Morgan Lynch, CEO of Senddr said: “We are delighted to join forces
with a company as innovative as AMCS and bring our cutting-edge
solutions to a global market. With this natural synergy we are ideally
placed to drive process efficiencies in the waste and recycling
industry.”

Post-acquisition, AMCS will launch its new digital engagement platform
that enables operators to better service customers and build stronger
relationships through social media, digital assistants and connected
(IoT) devices. Customers will be able to contact their service provider
when, where, and however suits them best. In turn, operators will
greatly reduce call center traffic and benefit from a more streamlined,
automated and lower cost communication channel.

AMCS will showcase its new digital engagement platform and demonstrate
the use of digital assistants such as Amazon Echo at Waste Expo 2017
(Booth 1747), in New Orleans, Louisiana from 9 - 11 May 2017.
